Tor
Scandinavia - Princess of Scandinavia - Moby Otta

This page
is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Tor Lines ferry
Tor
Scandinavia.

Tor
Scandinavia was built in 1976 for the Goteborg-Amsterdam and
Goteborg-Felixstowe services of Tor Line, one year after her
sister Tor
Britannia.
They were both 16000grt, carried 1358 passengers, and had a high
service speed of around 25knots (over 26knots maximum). In 1980,
there was a brief partnership between Tor Line and Sessan Line,
marketed as SESSAN TOR LINE.

DFDS
Seaways
acquired the passenger services of Tor Line in 1981. Initially, the ex-Tor ships
carried the logo DFDS TOR LINE on their hulls, as shown in the
card below. The ships were re-registered in Denmark, and soon
began operating on services other than the Tor Line Felixstowe-Goteborg
and Amsterdam-Goteborg routes.

In 1983 Tor Scandinavia was chartered
for use as a floating exhibition centre, and

was
temporarily given the name World Wide Expo. This postcard
was issued by the charterers.
